I didn’t manage to cash in the first event of the MiniFTOPS yesterday. This was basically due to a rather sick hand that came up around an hour and a half into the tournament:

The next hand I got JJ in the small blind and moved all-in, only to be called by the same player, which was holding AK this time. An A hit the flop and over was my MiniFTOPS #1.
It’s debatable whether or not I could have gotten away from those 33′s after the flop, but I think the way it played out, it was just one of those hands that played itself. Better luck next time.
BTW: Bob Safai is my hero.
